Rk rear arms question
Okay so I put my rock krawler adjustable arms in today and it appears I moved my axle back a bit too much... My track bar I hitting on my coil. And my coils are kind of angled What are my options? One I know to move my axle forward but if I wanted to keep it where it is what would I need?
Thanks in advance!

You can get coil shims, $20 from RC Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
now what about the track bar, do they make a bracket to move it back?

This is a known issue and you see it all the time with the RK kit. The best thing to do is cut the coil perches off the axle, rotate them back on top and weld them back on. For the track bar move the frame side mount bracket back by welding a new tab to the back of it so the bar will mount to the back side of the factory mount and the new tab.

Rock Krawler also makes wedges for the rear coil spring. I had the rough country wedges and switched to the Rock Krawler poly wedges when I swapped out my Trailmaster kit for the Rock Krawler 5.5". in my opinion they are way better.
You could also look at your pinion angle and see if you have any play room where you could shorten your uppers a little bit and rotate the top of the axle and spring perches away from the tracbar. That with wedges should do it. It did on mine and my axle is centered in my rear wheelwell and my coils have very little bow to them.
